I made Dominic a mild chicken curry and rice for his tea tonight, just for a change. I gave him a large helping, served with naan bread. I had chicken and mushrooms with veg. Anyway, I watched as he wolfed the whole heap down, and mopped up the last dregs of sauce with the bread. When he was finished he announced, "I'm not a great curry man". You can guess what my reply was, or maybe you shouldn't try, but beat that for cheek. MEN!!!!!

Just for that I would make it HOTTER next time!

Ann & all,

Are you surprised.? We are invited today to a free meal & champagne in a 4star hotel & Joe announced "I would rather have dinner at home, you know what you're eating."!!!!

Liz and Pat. You know what the problem is? THEY'RE SPOILED. Today I have a bit of a head cold. I may mention to Dominic about him having a go at cooking dinner later. That'll teach him. If he does cook dinner, I may voice a little criticism of the dish.

Ann, I bet you cooked the dinner as usual. Sometimes it is just as well to save your breath with these men!

One Lisburn drunk said the best meal he ever had was 'taty' farls and wine.

Hi all,

My favourite meal is starter, small salad with olive oil & a chopped egg with tomato & mayo, followed by fillet steak with braised onions & veg including floury potatoes & gravy, then a light dessert, like meringue & raspberries & pouring cream, some cheese & grapes, finishing off with a small cup of good coffee. I like a while between courses, a lingering meal with good wine. Of course there are others I like, but that is my favourite.

What do you others like.?

Pat, I think your nickname should be "greedy guts". I never saw anyone who could eat all her own dinner and then have a taste of everyone's else's. "An eating horse never dies". Nowadays, as you know, my choices are limited. My diet has to be fairly bland - fish or chicken, with small amount of veg, maybe potatoes. Ice cream is ok but no rich chocolate desserts (which I loved) nor anything too sweet. One good thing about this is that I am keeping in good trim. I had a beautiful piece of baked cod last night, but it was expensive - couldn't eat it at that price everynight. Tonight is chicken fillet. "If I eat any more chicken I'll be laying a double yolked egg" as someone we both know pronounced one time. I know now how she felt.

How did Pat's name come up on my posting? A gremlin, perhaps!!!!!!

Ann,

You must remember I take SMALL portions. You like little & often, me I take 3 meals a day, no in between.....

Pat

Pat, Jaysus, "small portions". For a horse!!!!!!

Ann ,

What else to enjoy now but good food & drink in moderation.

Jealous!!!!!!! Remember the old days, greedy guts.....Pat
